Sobel Edge Detection

In intelligent vehicle system, it is significant to detect and identify road markings for vehicles to follow traffic regulation. This paper proposes a method to recognize direction markings on road surface, which is on the basis of detected lanes and uses Hu moments. First of all, the detection of lanes is based on horizontal luminance difference, which converts the RGB color image to the luminance image, calculates the horizontal luminance difference, obtains the candidate points of lanes' edge and uses least square method to fit the lanes. Secondly, with the detected lines as guide for the search of candidate marking, the paper extracts Hu moments of candidate marking, calculates its Mahalanobis distance to every marking type and classifies it to the type which has the minimal distance with the candidate marking. From the simulation results, the method to detect lanes is more effective and time-efficient than canny or sobel edge detection methods; the method to recognize direction marking is effective and has a high accuracy.

The automatic identification of 2D (two dimensional) bar code PDF417 is very sensitive to skew angle, but, the common skew angle detection methods have shortcomings such as weak performance in time complexity. In this paper, based on the properties of PDF417 character code and the extraction of feature points, we get skew angle of PDF417 bar code image using the least square method. Experiments show that this algorithm has virtue of less computation and high accuracy.

Stiffness Reduction

Most of the developed sensitivity-based damage detection methods are based on the application of external excitations which could be prohibitive due to infeasible excitation of all structural degrees of freedom. In this regard, identification of damage properties using seismic structural response would be advantageous. In this research, sensitivity-based finite element model updating method is proposed to identify structural damage by earthquake response in the frequency domain and the transfer function of the structure due to ground excitation. The obtained sensitivity equation is solved by linear least square method through defining constraints on the design variables. Since the attainable measured data are restricted by limits on the instrumentations and preciseness of the measurements and due to the fact that only a few of the lower modes of a structure can generally be determined with confidence, a Bayesian statistical method is utilized to enhance the reliability of the predicted damage properties. The proposed technique is applied to a numerical frame model and an experimental six-story steel structure with various scenarios of story stiffness reduction. The results are indicative of the capability of the proposed method for identification of damage location and severity.

A concept of a kidney uptake coefficient (UC) of 131I-o-hippurate was developed by analogy from the corresponding kidney clearance of blood plasma in the early period after injection of the hippurate. The UC for each kidney was defined as the count-rate over its ROI at a time shorter than the peak in the renoscintigraphic curve divided by the integral of the count-rate curve over the "blood"-ROI. A procedure for normalization of both curves against each other was also developed. The total kidney clearance of the hippurate was determined from the function of plasma activity concentration vs. time after a single injection; the determinations were made at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 min after intravenous administration of 131I-o-hippurate and the best-fit curve was obtained by means of the least-square method. When the UC was related to the absolute value of the clearance a positive linear correlation was found (r = 0.922, ρ > 0.99). Using this regression equation the clearance could be estimated in reverse from the uptake coefficient calculated solely on the basis of the renoscintigraphic curves without blood sampling. The errors of the estimate are compatible with the requirement of a fast appraisal of renal function for purposes of clinical diagknosis.

In this study, two-phase asymmetric peristaltic Carreau-Yasuda nanofluid flow in a vertical and tapered wavy channel is demonstrated and the mixed heat transfer analysis is considered for it. For the modeling, two-phase method is considered to be able to study the nanoparticles concentration as a separate phase. Also it is assumed that peristaltic waves travel along X-axis at a constant speed, c. Furthermore, constant temperatures and constant nanoparticle concentrations are considered for both, left and right walls. This study aims at an analytical solution of the problem by means of least square method (LSM) using the Maple 15.0 mathematical software. Numerical outcomes will be compared. Finally, the effects of most important parameters (Weissenberg number, Prandtl number, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, local temperature and nanoparticle Grashof numbers) on the velocities, temperature and nanoparticles concentration functions are presented. As an important outcome, on the left side of the channel, increasing the Grashof numbers leads to a reduction in velocity profiles, while on the right side, it is the other way around.

This paper deals with the minimal-cost control of the modified activated sludge process with varying level of wastewater in the aerator tank. The model-based adaptive controller of the effluent substrate concentration, basing on the substrate consumption rate and manipulating the effluent flow rate outcoming from the aerator tank, is proposed and its performance is compared with conventional PI controller and open loop behavior. Since the substrate consumption rate is not measurable on-line, the estimation procedure on the basis of the least-square method is suggested. Finally, it is proved that cooperation of the DO concentration controller with the adaptive controller of the effluent substrate concentration allows the process to be operated at minimum costs (low consumption of aeration energy).

In order to evaluate the performance of GPS / BDS, RTKLIB, an open-source software of GNSS, is used in this paper. In this paper, the least square method, the weighted least square method and the extended Kalman filter method are respectively applied to BDS / GPS single system for data solution. Then, the BDS system and GPS system are used for fusion positioning and the positioning results of the two systems are compared with that of the single system. Through the comparison of experiments, on the premise of using the extended Kalman filter method for positioning, when the GPS signal is not good, BDS data is introduced for dual-mode positioning, the positioning error in e direction is reduced by 36.97%, the positioning error in U direction is reduced by 22.95%, and the spatial positioning error is reduced by 16.01%, which further reflects the advantages of dual-mode positioning in improving a system robustness and reducing the error.
